I know what it's like to live in the South because I watched Smokey and the Bandit many times. I know what it's like to live on a huge, partially completed spaceship because I watched Star Wars.

For myself, I'd like to point out that, in retrospect, we were not on the eve of destruction in 1965. I'm sure it felt that way then. For our democracy, it feels that way now.

Does anyone seriously believe that we have had zero illegal immigrants come to the United States in the last three months?

There's no reason for any of you to care, but I get emails from Gab, the far-right nutball Twitter competitor. They're insane. We are dealing with true morons who have never cracked a book.

If you are wondering how the typical Trumpist is reacting, here is it is, below. They don't understand markets. They don't own stocks or have 401k plans. To them, all of it just a mystery behind a curtain.
